> So the creator of this game got sick of waiting for Miegakure to be released and decided to make his own 4D game.

> It's much shorter and simpler in scope than Miegakure will be, but it's still amazing as a working 4D environment. One of the most noticeable 'limitations' is that pretty much all of the 4D objects one interacts with are basically some variation on a hypercube (or at least in the first few levels I finished so far). But it's really, really, really cool to play this game.

>> [Cursor*10](http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/cursor10/) is one of my all-time favourites. Very simple puzzle with a very innovative (at the time) idea. I believe PB Winterbottom uses a similar mechanic however I haven't played it so can't speak for its quality.

>> I put together [this demo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lLg3oLbwRsQ) as a school project way back when.  Still hoping to turn the concept into something real at some point.

>> Also [Fez](http://fezgame.com/), which is sort of like Brane and Miegakure but in one fewer dimension.
